From Fernando Torres To Bebe - The Premier League's 10 Worst Transfers Of The 2010-11 Season by Nobody: 3:00pm On Apr 18, 2011 |
Presenting the absolute best of the absolute worst, Goal.com UK selects the biggest flops of the campaign based on impact, adjustment, price and contribution to their new sides 18 Apr 2011 12:00:00 Share 2 tweet retwee 11 Related Links Players Sébastien Squillaci Stephen Ireland Marouane Chamakh Edin Dzeko Bebe Paul Konchesky Joe Cole Mario Balotelli Fernando Torres Christian Poulsen Find the best odds and bet on the Premier League. The Premier League has arguably been more exciting off the pitch than on it this season, with shock takeovers, swift managerial sackings, and some truly surprising transfers– and even better, there's been some utterly appalling signings. From Aston Villa to Wigan, fans up and down the English top flight have seen players trot out in their club's colours only to see them turn out brown all over. Be they Bosman wastes of space or multimillion walking embarrassments, near enough every set of supporters can point to one purchase that they're ashamed to see in the squad. And here's a run down of the absolute worst of them. The ones whose shirts won't be shifting in the club shop this summer, and the ones who have left eager fans red-faced by having their name and number splashed on their backs. We judged the 10 worst transfers for 2010-11 based on: The player's overall contribution (this being the most important factor) How the player fitted into his new line-up How quickly the player adapted to his new surroundings, and vice-versa The transfer fee paid, if any, and any other financial details known. (Transfer fees unconfirmed by either club or otherwise unknown are given as approximations and are marked in italics.) Before running down our best of the worst, here's a select few duds who just about managed to avoid this less than sacred list: Laurent Koscielny, Robert Pires, Jean Makoun, Pablo Barrera, Eidur Gudjohnsen (twice!), Winston Reid, Mauro Boselli, Jelle van Damme, James Milner, Milan Jovanovic and Marcos Angleri. Them lot were bad, but they're just a bit better than the charlatans that follow. |
